HEATING SVT-OVE.

Application filed January 31, 1928, Serial No. 25E/783. Renewed March 1, 1929.

My invention relates to heating stoves of the radiant burner type. n

One object of this invention is to provide a novel means for supporting the burner. vAnother object is to provide means for permitting expansion oi the lire-clay back of the stove without straining or damaging of the stove parts. Another object is to produce a novel means for supporting the radiants. Another obje'c:J is to provid a unitary means czrried by the sides of the stove for supporting the said back and radiant support, holdf ing in place the said back and support, and providing supports for the said means for ermittine eX ansion of the said back.

Referring to the accompanying dra ving, Fig. 1v is a horizontal section of the. rear part of my stove, parts being broken away; Fig. 2, a rear elevation of a portion of the stove, parts being omitted and broken away; Fig. 8, a top-plan view of one end of the radiant support; and Fig. 11, a section on the line 4 4 on Fig. 3.

On the drawino` 10. and 11 designate the metallic vertical side members of the stove,

each having a horizontal ledge or shelf 12 on its inner face., the ledges lying opposite each other. The burner 13 reaches from one side member to the other and may be of any suitable type, such, for example, as that shown in my application, Serial No. 165,311, filed February 2, 1927. The ends of the burners lie beneath'the ledges 12 and in contact therewith, screws 14 securing the ends of the burners to the ledges. The ledges are cast inV one piece with the respective sides and 11.

In front of the ledges and cast integrally therewith and with the sides 10 and 11 are the thin vertical ribs oriianges 15 projecting toward each other. Y

16 is the radiant support composed of'shet metal and having'at its ends the slots 17 which receive the said flanges 15 to keep the radiant support from backward and forward movements. rEhe ends of the support restupon the ledges 12. The support has near each end a linger or rest 1S integral therewith and projecting downwardly and rearwar lly so as to rest on the upper face of the burner 13 to prevent the support from rotation or tilting toward the rear when the radiants rest thereon. As shown in Fig. 1, Athe forward side of the radiants (one marked 19 beine shown) rest on the rear portion of the support 16 which might turn more or less but for the fingers 18. The support 16 has a number of upstanding while the members 21 of the pairs engage the outer or front faces of the radiant-s just opposite the members 20, whereby the radiants are held from movement in all horizontal directions.

r1`he rear face of the radiants contact with the front face of the back wail made of any suitable refractory material, such as fire clay. The back wall 23 rests upon the ledges 12 and on the ends of the radiant support 16 j ust at the rear of the flanges 15, whereby the said support is held down firmly. The said wall is hollowed out in front to receive the radiante while its end portions 2li extend forwardly and standy spaced from the stove'sides 10 and' 11 Vwhile the front edges of the yportions 24 preferably engage the rear faces of the flanges 15. f

A flue 25 is provided behind the wall 23by the vertical metal plate 26 having its intermediate portions entending rearwardly beyond the wail 23,x while its end portions eX- tend forwardly where they are provided with flanges 2.7 resting against the outer face ofthe wall 23 near its ends. The rear faces of the sides 10 and 11 have secured thereto by screws 28 the vertical metal strips or plates 29 having resilient fingers 30 overlapping the rear faces of the flanges 27 of the plate 26, and contacting therewith to hold the bach wall 23 in place and provide means whereby the baclr wall may expand without distorting any part of the stove'except the fingers 30 which will yield to allow expansion and follow up the baclr when it contracts.

I claim- 1. 1n a stove, upstanding sides, shelves on the opposing faces of the sides, a burner attached to the shelves, a refractory back wall having its ends resting on the shelves, flanges carried by the'forward edges of the sides and projecting toward each other' and forming a front abutment for the said ends of the back wall.

2. In a stove, upstanding sides, shelves on the opposing faces of the sides, a burner attached to the shelves7 a refractory bach wall having its ends resting on the shelves, flanges carried by the forward edges of the sides and projecting toward each other and forming a front abutment for the said ends of the baclr lUO lll)

wall, in combination with a' radiant support having its ends forked and receiving between the members thereof the said flanges, the ends of the radiant support resting on the shelves.

3. In a stove, upstanding sides, lshelves on the opposing faces of thesides, a. burner attached to the sh-elves, a refractory back wall having its ends resting on the shelves, iianges carried by the forward edges of the sides and projecting toward each other and forming a y front abutment for the said ends of the back wall, in combination with a radiant support having' its ends forked and receiving between the members thereof the said flanges, the ends of the radiant support resting on the shelves and beneath the said ends of the back wall.

4.. Ina stove, upstandino' sides, a burner between the sides, a refractory back wall back of the burner, and meansI confining the front and back faces of the back wall, the means confiningone Yof the said face-s being yieldable horizontally whereby the horizontal expansion of the back wall is permitted while it is heldfirmly in place.

5. In a stove, upstanding sides, a burner between the sides, a refractory back wall back of the burner, means confining the front of` the back wall, and yieldable means confining the back of the back wall and permitting horizontal expansion thereof.

6. In a stove, upstanding sidesfa burner between' the sides, afrefraetory back wall back of the burner, means confining the front of the back wall, and yieldable means confining the bach of the back wall'and permitting horizontal expansion thereof, in combination with a plate behind theback wall and spaced therefrom at its intermediate portions and clamped at its ends between the back wall and the said yieldable means.

7. In a stove, upstanding sides, a burner between the sides, a radiant support carri-ed by the sides in front of the burner, means on its rear portion for supporting and holding radiants in fixed position, a refractory baci; wall to support the rear side of the radiante, and rearwardly extending legs carried by the radiant support and resting on the bur to prevent the said support from Vtilting` rearwardly.

8. In a stove, sides, a burner connected between the sides, a hollow angular radiant, a sheet metal support for the radiant, andupstanding lugs carried by the radiant suppot, some of the lugs standing in the forward interior angles of the radiant and others of the lugs engaging the front face ofA the radiant. v

9. In a stove, upstanding sides, shelves on the opposing faces of the sides, a burner at-V tached to the shelves, a refractory back wall having; its ends resting on the shelves, flanges carried by the forward edges of the sides and projecting toward each other and forming,l a front abutment for the said ends of the back wall, in combination with a. radiant support.

In testimony whereof, I hereunto affix my signature.
